Le fate ignoranti

I saw this film a while ago at the cinema, but rented it again on Lovefilm.  However, the DVD was quite damaged, so it kept on stalling - grr!  Anyway, I still enjoyed seeing the film, directed by Turkish-Italian director Ferzan Ozpetek in 2001.  It is the story of Antonia (Margherita Buy), whose husband Massimo is killed in a car accident.  After the accident, Antonia discovers that Massimo has been having a seven year affair with a man, Michele (Stefano Accorsi).  Antonia is initially hostile towards Michele, and his circle of friends (who seem to spend a lot of their spare time hanging out at his lovely rooftop apartment in Rome!), but strong relationships soon develop.  It is an interesting and gentle film which I enjoyed a great deal.
